[sdyme1995]

The last Lemoore race we went to, the officials consficated my buudies beer that where in an ice chest in the bed of the truck. Then 20min later we were in the cool down lanes and one of the guy brought the beer over to the guy working. Yep we were all like screw these guys, were done.

Yep, we'll see what she does. This really will be my first time running 300ft. basically taking a dune bike and putting struts on it and running.

The wife and I did some vacationing, Vegas, Disneyland, Tahoe, so I ran out of play money, so the bike isn't setup how I would like, but oh well. Just gonna go have some fun.

I'll be out there to watch the drags saturday and sunday. It would be nice to meet some of you guys in person and check out your bikes.

WFO, look for a Tan over black f250 with black and silver wheels. My 250r is green frame with black fiberglass body. Will be with a candy red Stellar hill shooter in the pits. Stop by and say Hi.

Sydme, howd the race go?

[sdyme1995]

Went pretty well. Ran t&t fri, got 6 or so runs in. Tried different stuff to get faster, still learning. also need to get better reaction times. Saturday morning we only got 2 runs and picked our breakout times. First class ran, it took 4hrs for them. My class came up, sportsman 2, first round out I break out. Sucks to go too fast and you lose. Luckily it was double elimination. Went 3 more rounds then lost again so I was done. I pulled out of the index class I was in because I had to get home Sat night and I had a 4hr drive home.

Met several members from the forum, most that don't post at all, and had some good conversations.

I'll copy some of the time slips and get them up, not the fastes but oh well.

I think my best run was a 5.49x with a 1.8x 60ft. And all my reaction times were .4xx. I kept thinking at the light, go now, go now, ah shit I'm late.

stock frame with struts/plus 6 swinger
363 sphinx
trx5 cm(will be changing soon)
40.5 gas carb
22x11x8 8pdl hauler started at 4.5psi, worked my way down to 3psi

And I am 230#, need to lose some weight.

I have a Gigot lockup, 44 lecktron, pump to put on and make the switch over to alky. Hopefully with some more T&T I can shave another .5 off and break into a 4.9x.
